This episode was as close to perfection as an episode could get. The only thing I hated was that it was confined to an hour. Hopefully the rest of the season will continue to live up to the bar these episodes have set.

Do you guys thinK Vaatu will escape and become a season 3 bad guy or that he's the villain who makes the nations unite season 2 last villain?

I thought the same thing. Especially with seeing part of how/why the different people fought, became their own nations, and Wan's failure of bringing peace.

That was the gut-wrenching part. He died an old man knowing in some ways the world was the way it is because of him and he couldn't fix all of it. Still that he tried to uphold his beliefs even till his literal last breath was inspiring.

The "Unalaq really isn't a bad guy" theory is he's trying to have Korra open the Spirit Portals for the Harmonic Convergence to defeat Vaatu and rebind him with Raava.

The "Unalaq is a bad guy" theory is that his goal is to become the "Dark Avatar" with Vaatu, either on his own free will or he's been deceived by Vaatu.

Ah someone will comment on how "cliche" either outcome will be and bash Korra for trusting Unalaq who was so obviously the 1-dimensional bad guy to begin with. The first scenario you mention seems a lot cooler though.

I hesitate to label him as

"Dark Avatar", since the spirits that Vaatu turned were acting on their impulses, rather than simply being outright evil. I do wonder where the twins fit into this scheme. What's interesting is that Korra's actions prior to this special mirrored those of the Vaatu-converted spirits.
